Lol, Tank!  If I had been wearing mine it would have probably exploded!

We aren't a team that can win away games. How many have we lost straight? 4? And John praising the team after this performance reeks of hypocrisy. All time worst call ever regarding the Flacco INT.... at least he assumed responsibility for Marty's boneheaded call and Flacco's boneheaded throw.

[BKeyser]

Harbs: "All time worst call ever" on the interception. He took the blame, but Marty called it.

[ellicottraven]

Where does our #1 run defense ranking go from here after the Eagles put up 170 yds rushing? Also, the ToP was so lopsided in the Eagles favor. How do you expect the defense to play hard for so long.

[ellicottraven]

Man I'll tell you this much. If Flacco doesn't improve his decision making, we aren't going to the playoffs nor should we because we won't make it far anyhow.

Shouldn't be this hard! Yet we make it that way

[ellicottraven]

How did Flacco think he played and he thinks he played a pretty good game. Seriously man?

[Zeus]

Yeah

[ellicottraven]

Flacco was happy because Marty was giving him a 3rd TD pass? Where did our winning mentality go instead of trying to pad stats in the 4th quarter.

All real QBs WANT the ball in their hands to seal a game.  They ALL want to throw as many TDs a possible.  Geez.

And why was the TOP so lopsided?  lol

I don't care what the stats say. The Defense is utter garbage. Chocolate fireguard springs to mind. I could stroll through that Defense smoking a stogie. What a joke. Forget the playoffs, these guys are just not good enough.

eh, they'll be OK for next week.

[drillem]

I started enjoying the game after Wallace took the ball down the field....then the coaching staff had a brain fart and told Flacco to lob the ball....big, big, big very big mistake....the only thing I can compare this to is someone jumping off a tall building thinking someone's going to catch him before he hits.....just plain awful call.   A very lucky win at best...not good...not quality at all.  Very disappointed.

[captainwolfe]

why, why, why!! would anyone throw when all you have to do is run 2 straight times kill alort of time on the clock and even if you dont score running kick the fg  and make them score 2 td with a offense that relies on tthe run all day.  game over Unbelievable call by coaching staff then not sure what flaco was looking at  not only did he somehow not see the defender buy his receiver had a defender draped all over him , no way the ball would have been caught. flacco, does the dumbest things!  then weddle all year a great safety but also dumb knocks tavon down in the NYG game so beckham has long td, last week decides for unkonwn reason to come up in coverage leaving no one deep and result long td. then this week stands at the goal line and waits for the qb to run around him????/  this team needs some smarts

Exactly a "struggling defense" that was 1st in the run and 4th in the league.

THIS D has been helped by pathetic play on the other side.

This isn't some Pees mastermind that's created such.  

I'm not even sure what this means it's a bunch of incomplete thoughts.   

I'm not a Pees fan, but if I'm talking about a drive, where the offense needs to gain a first down or two to end the game, but instead they chose to run straight up the gut and punt.  Then Pees shouldn't be in the discussion, since I'm talking about the offense finishing off the game and running out the clock effectively. 

 

Pees defense is similar to G.Mattison Ravens defenses. Somehow they rank highly although they really aren't particularly great at anything regardless of what the statistics say. 

[Tank 92]

dun, over.  On to the steelers.

Predicting the Ravens winning 27-26 is impressive but can you predict the Ravens win next week as well.

What I really meant was I had predicted the Eagles would score to within 1 point of the Ravens and go for the 2 point conversion and actually win. I was happily wrong on the result though...

Geez?? When running the ball was a call even a terrible OC would've made? I thought Flacco was known for his winning and not stat padding no? So, where did that come from? Are you defending the call or Flacco's inopportune INT going for a stat padding TD? Even John Harbaugh acknowledged that was the worst call he's ever been part of and your QB struts out there and boasts about wanting a 3rd TD when we could have gone victory formation for 3 downs and added 3 points? Come on Mod.

I'm only defending him SAYING he wanted 3 TDs.  Chill.

I am chilled. But, you don't seem to be for some reason. Forever we've defended Flacco for being a winner and caring only about winning and not personal stats given his average QB statistics. It doesn't come across as odd that he prefers TDs over wins? At the very least he should've acknowledged that it was a terrible call and worse execution at the time regardless of him wanting a 3rd TD at the time. Look, I like Flacco but what he said or the way he executed isn't defensible especially given how close we came to losing the game and therefore the season.

Would you prefer him to go Mike Singletary or Jim Mora in his pressers and throw Joe/Marty under the bus? That'd be beyond unprofessional.

[Moderator 3]

Seriously, I thought he was joking around.

Here's the point I was making quickly summed up in an article.This article accentuates the point I was trying to make albeit unsuccessfully based on the response from mod 3.

True, true. Dude has the resume to audible, or throw it away though. Dumb play call, even dumber execution.

 they don't play that type of offense, yeah Joe can and sometimes does that's not what the offend does.  Joe is actually on pace to finally throw 4k yds.  I agree man definitely horrible play calling and even worst execution.  Enough with the excuses and we'll do a better job next week BC there might not be a next week.

Why are people blaming the offense and Joe. They didn't give up over a hundred yards to the Eagles. 

Defense got ran over today, when they needed to get off the field they could not do it.

How do we allow that? How? Please tell me

Have no clue but I know it starts with coaching and both the oc and DC have horrible game plans and I'm about tires of harbs hindsight excuse as the HC he needs to start taking the reigns.  Did he he not learn how to call an offensive game from Reid all those years in Philly?

Which ref is Ertz related to? How's he getting these calls?

I know, it's ridiculous but I feel if our TE s tried it would be offensive pi

If I could have a minute with Joe and Marty, I would ask him exactly what they were thinking on that play. I'm totally fumed. 

Ask Marty what he was thinking BC all Joe has to say is I'm running the play thats called

Its over folks. Its time to fire the offense.

Definitely be looking for a new OC!!!

We are ranked high because we played bad offenses that had trouble moving the ball.  When this defense needs a stop, they are nowhere to be found

Bend but don't - too late....

So is 27 points not enough to win with the top ranked defense anymore?

Starting to look that way...

This game, ending as close as it did, is totally on me. It was a poor choice of pool pics and I should have "vetoed" the pic when I realized it wasn't getting any likes (outside of one person that tried to help my self esteem). Although the pool pic did expand my win streak to 4-0, it is an empty victory for me letting all of you down.

I"ll take an ugly win any day.  4-0 is 4-0 no matter how ugly the games are!  As far as I'm concerned, keep posting them! 

I am 1-2 (win vs. Browns. losses @ Dallas and NE) when I post the pool pics, so you won't see me posting any more pool pics this season!
